Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Mostly very good. Buffet all a bit the same.

Fine Cut Steakhouse

4 out of 5

A good meal but no better than the rest that were included. Wasn’t worth the extra £60 each and service was probably worse. They forgot to offer us drinks. Haha.

All wonderful

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Superb theatre. Eden bar at the back was wonderful. Concorde area felt small. Large cabin although rather bland. Cabin safe too small for iPad or laptops.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

A large very modern clean cabin. Rather bland though and a few minor design faults. Ie shower door opened wrong way to reach towels and shower gel not transparent so didn’t get refilled.

George Town, Grand Cayman

We got the shuttle to the public beach and walked along to find a quiet spot. White sand and crystal clear very warm water.

Evening stroll down town, really exciting as it was thanksgiving weekend. Walked along the river in the morning. Wish we’d have had time for a river trip.
